'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' sets new domestic box office record
Sony Pictures and Marvel's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' has set a new record for the highest-grossing opening weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters, earning $360 million over three days. This surpasses the previous record of $357 million held by 'Avengers: Endgame.' The film also earned $932 million globally but remains below 'Endgame's' global box office mark. The movie opened with strong Thursday preview sales and continued to perform well on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It marked the largest opening in Sony Pictures history and for the Spider-Man franchise. Despite being excluded from Imax screens due to competition from Christopher Nolan’s film, it succeeded through other premium formats like Dolby Cinema. 'Brand New Day' is expected to join three other films as a billion-dollar box office hit by year-end: 'Toy Story 5,' 'Michael,' and 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.'
